The shelter was founded by a couple of enthusiastic people in 2010. As you know there is no real state policy of treating the home and street animals. That’s why the number of homeless animals in Russia is huge.The shelter has no support from the government; it keeps working only thanks to the charity of the citizens and some crowd-funding projects. Nowadays there are 130 dogs and 90 cats.
With the economic crisis the country is facing now it becomes much more complicated to pay the bills, to feed the animals and offer them the medical treatment. We understand how important to keep it working! As only for the less than 5 years more than 1000 dogs and 2000 cats found their homes in Russia and abroad.
We would appreciate any possible help.
Petrozavodsk Public Shelter is the first and the only one in Petrozavodsk. The Shelter isn`t funded by the municipal budget and relies only on concerned people`s donations. That`s why we always need your help of all sorts!

Shelter needs:

1. Canned ​​Food for cats and dogs

5. Dairy products (curds, kefir)

6. Dog harness (leashes, collars, harnesses, muzzles)

7. Cages for animals (The shelter is often overcrowded and there is not enough space for the animals, we cannot bring them away, either. That’s why we need cages for a temporary stay of animals (until the animal is taken for temporary residence or a shelter dwelling becomes vacant)

In the wintertime we always need firewood, in other seasons – hay and sawdust
